Officine
Stampaggi Industriali (or in English Industrial
Stamping Company), was founded in 1960 by Luigi
Segre (the former director of Ghia) and Arrigo
Olivetti in the city of Turin, Italy.

The
Company was a subsidiary of Ghia and was intended
to produce some of the models created by Ghia, on
existing mechanicals. During the same year OSI
began production on the Fiat Family of cars
(1300-1500, 2300 Innocenti 950 S coupe and
spider) all of which had been designed by Ghia.
At the 1963 Turin Motor Show OSI exhibited the
Giovanni Michelotti styled 1900 S spider. In
1964, OSI exhibited Michelottis latest
design on the Ford of Italy stand. This was a
redesigned Ford Anglia built especially for the
Italian Market, and called the Ford Anglia
Torino.

1965,
66 and 67 saw more and varied designs exhibited
and built, amongst which was the Silver Fox of
1967.

By
the time the OSI Ford 20M TS went into production
in 1967, they employed some 800 people.

OSI
continued to exhibit and build their latest
creations until 1968, at which time all car
production ended. The Company continued, but
diversified into printing and industrial
equipment.

The
Company operated as per any other car
manufacturing plant, producing vehicles on an
assembly line, passing from assembly station to
assembly station. Here are a few assembly line
photographs of the Ford Anglia
Torino
being built.
